Overview

Based on the work from Mariana Enriquez and directed by Pablo Larraín, My Sad Dead follows Ema, who can see and hear the dead. After her mother’s death, Ema receives an unexpected visit from her niece Julie, with whom she shares the same unsettling gift. With Julie’s return, family secrets and wounds that never fully healed will resurface —but so will a strange phenomenon from which no one will emerge unscathed. The entire neighborhood will sense presences and hear the distinctive sounds of their own dead.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A slow, haunting meditation on loss where the supernatural becomes a vessel for processing family wounds and inherited trauma. The dead don't terrorize here, they linger, insistent reminders of what remains unresolved among the living.
